In this episode I sit down with three other women to discuss where we find ourselves today, in the world of covid and all it has brought with it. Here are the two links that Liv mentioned during the podcast. https://opusdei.org/en-au/article/saint-severinus-martyr/ https://ncc.org.au/newsweekly/
Weaning your children into adulthood often resembles weaning a baby - it requires repeated behaviours, some tears, many hard, often scary at times, sleepless nights, a lot of letting go and lots of trust in letting God be God. Chantal Howard has done just that- come and listen to our conversation where we discuss allowing our children to exercise their freedom which will inevitably lead them to choices where they will fail, but how can we help them to fail forward? Our children have freedom- it's not our job to be their redeemer- it's His, give them the tools and leave it up to Him. Check out Chantal over @catholic.oil.mom and @aromarosary
As women we are life bearers and life givers- When we truly live out of this gift as women we not only bring life to ourselves but to others and in this case to whole communities. Donna Power is such a woman. She has founded a charity that provides kindergartens to hundreds of Malawi children where they can receive food, community an education and ultimately dignity. If Malawi is known as the Warm Heart of Africa, Donna and the Canossian Sisters are beautiful examples of the warm heart of femininity.

When Teresa's son was less than 2 days old his mother noticed he was becoming less and less responsive and his body temperature was getting colder. Armed with mobile phone, his blue book and a pair of rosary beads she was rushed off to hospital. Take a listen to her story of fighting for her son's life and accepting the cross she has been handed. Teresa shows that the impact of the trauma we face is largely dependent on the way we respond to it.
Where do you turn we things feel out of control? In this episode Liv and I talk about what life looks like for us at the moment and how we are dealing with it.

" A breakdown in our common understanding of words leads to a society in chaos and frustration, inevitability miscommunicating and plagued by distrust. We become suspicious not only of eachother but ourselves and our ability to grasp reality. Rather than a fallible people struggling imperfectly toward a harmonious common good, we are a cacophony screaming across a chasm for recognition and moving through the world without a destination." https://www.amazon.com/Awake-Not-Woke-Christian-Progressive/dp/1505118425 Theology of Home https://theologyofhome.com
In today's episode I chat with Dr Marguerite Harb. She details her story of love, loss, hope and total surrender to how God is writing her story. Only with Christ at the centre does suffering truly make sense. "Knowing that Christ has gone ahead of us and awaits us there gives us courage to face the darkness and enter into the silence. In fact,after we endure the trial of silence and experience the depths of our own weakness, we come to a deeper faith in God and the power of His strength to protect us and sustain us. What appeared to us to be silent absence turns out to be silent presence, and we discover that God is always closer to us that what we dreamed possible. What appeared to be silence to us was in fact deafeningly loud and what appeared dark to us was in fact blindingly bright." Pope Benedict XVI. The Book that has brought me joy this week. Personal Prayer- a guide to receiving the Father's Love. https://www.amazon.com/Personal-Prayer-Guide-Receiving-Fathers/dp/1645850234#:~:text=Personal%20Prayer%3A%20A%20Guide%20for%20Receiving%20the%20Father's%20Love%20brings,Acklin%2C%20OSB%2C%20and%20Fr.

In this  episode I sit down with Leila Abdallah. On the first of February 2020 four of Leila's children and three cousins went off to buy ice cream. The children were hit by a speeding, drunk driver. Four of the children were killed, three were her's.  Leila shares how this tragedy has affected her family, her faith and perfect strangers. Leila captivated the hearts of thousands of people as she spoke from her heart the day after her children were killed. She spoke of forgiveness, of justice and of faith. Faith is a gift, one that is freely given. But for a gift to be given we have to receive it, otherwise it is just an imposition. When you listen to Leila you get a glimpse of just how freeing that gift is. Faith doesn't take away the pain but it gives meaning and purpose to it. Thank you Leila for showing the world that earth has no sorrow that heaven can't heal.
